What is this newsletter?

Welcome to the weekly newsletter, where I will offer a concise list of events that include free food at Colorado College.

I created this newsletter with two goals: to help students who are worried about their meal plan money and to increase show-up rates at school-sponsored events.

Who am I?

My name is Polly. I am a first-year student at Colorado College, an international student, and a meal plan user.

Almost every day, at least one of my friends skips a meal or grabs something cheap from the C Store because they are “behind on meal plan money.” I myself often choose a granola bar over breakfast at Colorado Coffee or take a deli sandwich at lunch in Rastall’s to have it be my dinner later.

Whether you struggle with managing your meal plan, can’t get enough food as an athlete, use all of your Gold Card Plus money on textbooks, or just look out for fun events — you are in the right place.

What’s in it for you?

Students: Are you planning a club event? Do you want to reach your target audience? Do you know of an opportunity coming up? Let me know!

Faculty and staff: Are you inviting a speaker? Do you want more students to show up? Are you planning a new event? Keep me updated!

If you would like to contribute information on upcoming opportunities, contact p_panasenko2024[at]coloradocollege[dot]edu or @polly.the.penguin on Instagram.
